Le Commando De La Voie Lactee - Rare Japanese puppet sci-fi

[dukes0916]

Was this the 1st attempt at the Sci-Fi standard of the assembling of a 'multi-national team' to save the Earth. Here we see at least 2 Gijan (A Yank & a kid from Mexico)! In future froms of these story lines, each of the heros could be from different parts of the world!

This show did indeed use Osamu Tezuka's "Star System"..."Gramps" is actually Tezuka's character Higeoyaji.

whoa

Je savais pas, c'était aussi en spectacle français. Ce vieux titre semble avoir rendu les gens si excitées que ce tour, je pense, aurait dû leur faire rêver ! =D

[gandillion]

check out the legos on the control panel in the begining, innovative...

I hope there'll be more people uploading this rare TV show in the future, or get to know about it! This is awesome! Just like Gerry Anderson's Supermarionation technique!

The original Japanese title of this show is 銀河少年隊, If those of you could read Japanese or Chinese, you might find further things about this show, by searching this title.

I've also read the show used "Osamu Tezuka's Star System", which means the characters from different Tezuka's works might appeared in puppet form!

Never mind, I found the DVD! It's called "NHK Ningyougeki Chronicle series VOL.3 Takeda Ningyouza no sekai Kuuchuu toshi 008" on cdjapan, and it's also available on Amazon Japan.

I just ordered it. Apparently it has episode 67 of this show along with a few other old puppet shows. I hope the episode is complete.

How come does Google have no results of people from France talking about this show? Anyway, more clips please! Is there a bootleg of this out there?

[topraman519]

Hahaha, I like the humor. Very anime.

[xlfephone]

Myria...? This is a Myria Gromova-puppet...?

I read in an old anime fanzine years ago that Big X was English dubbed back in the 1960's for U.S. TV and instead was called " CYBORG BIG X " , but I'm yet to find any proof of this. Does anyone got any proof of this?

[Bxclass]

Seriously it sounds like the same fregin voices that do Anime today!! WTF!!!

[gokegoroshi2222]

Thanks for the upload.

I've been looking for this for long time.

I stiil have this title song's record.

[SpockBoy]

Thanks for posting that.

It's amazing that the "anime" look with the giant eyes and small mouths can trace it's roots THIS far back.

GOOD STUFF.

[AgentofEvil]

the anime look traces it's way back to Osamu Tezuka, whose career began in 1946 if memory serves; he almost single-handedly defined the direction modern comics and animation were to take in japan. His style of illustration was HEAVILY influenced by a western animator with whom you may be familiar, Walt Disney. So really, believe it or not, anime eyes started with Disney.

I thought I'd never get to see this! Thanks — this is a MAJOR find, since Tezuka ordered all of the episodes destroyed (because he was ultimately unhappy with the series). Cheers!

Cowboys in space. Kinda like Cowboy Bebop? Love Gramps eyebrows!

[atomicbear]

[hilarioph]

Hmm.. That's the time there is no model ships just only anime spaceships. Just like they did on superman
